Fluorescent downlights

Cost is relative, so here are the numbers:

$53.99 Juno ICPL632E housing
$23.93 Juno "Fresnel" lens
$12.95 Sylvania 32W bulb
$91 subtotal per 6" fluorescent downlight, plus tax.

The old kitchen last year got smaller versions at $81 per 5" fluorescent downlight (replaced bulbs cost $15 each), plus tax.

Compare to the incandescent version:

$7.93 Commercial Electric 5" housing (in 6-pack)
$4.67 Commercial Electric illumination trim (in 12-pack)
$5.49 GE 65W R-30 bulb (in 2-pack)
$18 subtotal per 5" incandescent downlight, plus tax.

That's a cost factor of 4.5 to 5 for energy efficiency!
